The one good day in No Mans Land 1914

[Brother No. 1]

Comrades No Man's Land was the biggest Battlefield/Grave in WW1 but in one day they showed peace 1914 Chritsmas Day on this day Enemys met and talked to each other and saw the other was facing the same misiry even the Germans helped the buring of the frech so Comrades if Enemies can do this for at laest one day why cant the world do the same

Most of the people in the world actually has a lot in common, but the ruling class can't allow the common folk to be united as one, because then it will realize that its pointless to obey and follow its vicious overlords, who are too busy fighting each other.

[The Idler]

Because the officers would shoot you for fraternizing with "the enemy".

true but on this day the german and british armies dified the buguoise and tried to end the war in peace but the war contiued still this should be remembered as a great Socailist day.

That day was an example of how the working class came together amidst a war. Just because they weren't doing so in the name of socialism doesn't mean that it wasn't important in demonstrating how the working class knew that they were being used and decided not to take it anymore.
The soldiers who fraternized with the "enemy" were punished on all sides incidentally. There's a good French film about this called Joyeux Noel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyeux_No%C3%ABl) (Or Merry Christmas)

Also this article (http://www.marxist.com/german-revolution-ends-horror-of-war.htm) claims that it was the German Revolution that ended the war. I suggest reading it.
